TEHRAN- The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry has lambasted the U.S. government’s full-fledged backing for the atrocities committed by the Zionist regime and sharply denounced the Israeli air strikes on Gaza’s residential areas and refugee camps, which have resulted in the deaths of numerous people.

In a post on X on Saturday night, Nasser Kanaani highlighted, “Strikes by the Zionist regime’s warplanes on a residential complex in Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza housing displaced and defenseless people left more than 100 people martyred and dozens wounded. Moreover, an attack on the Shujaiya neighborhood in east Gaza left over 60 people martyred. These strikes added more dark and disgraceful pages to the long list of war crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the oppressed Palestinian nation over the past 50 days.”

“We strongly condemn these heinous crimes. The crimes are going on at a time when the U.S. government continues its full support for the Zionist regime and some American news outlets speak of Washington providing the apartheid Israeli regime with thousands of new bombs,” he added.

The spokesman went on to continue, “Some reports by American news outlets revealed that Washington has supplied the apartheid Israeli regime with thousands of new bombs.”

Kanaani also noted that “indubitably, the U.S. government is an accomplice to war crimes, massacre and genocide committed by the usurper Zionist regime against Palestinians.”

Following the conclusion of a seven-day truce with Hamas, Israel resumed its assaults on Gaza on Friday morning.

Intense shelling has been directed against Khan Younis, a city in southern Gaza where hundreds of inhabitants have relocated from the northern enclave, in recent days.

"More than 100 Palestinians were killed Saturday in a new massacre committed by Israeli occupation forces in the Jabalia refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip," the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

“A missile strike targeted a residential building belonging to the Obaid family in Jabalia camp,” the news agency said, adding that “dozens were injured, and many others are still missing under the rubble.”

The Israeli army resumed bombing the Gaza Strip early Friday after declaring an end to a week-long humanitarian pause with Hamas.

Since the onset of the conflict, the Israeli military has attacked the camp on numerous occasions, most notably on October 9, 12, 19, and 22, when hundreds of Palestinians were killed and injured as a result. 

“The numbers are huge,” the spokesperson for the civil defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, said. “At least 300 are dead and many more are missing under the rubble.”

Basal added the civil defense teams do not have the means or the equipment to handle the “massacre.”

Israel started the war on Gaza on October 7, following the surprise launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying regime in reaction to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

So far, Israeli violence has murdered more than 15,000 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children.
